BARIKI HALL SHABAZZ
On September 2, 2024, Bariki Hall Shabazz, 90, transitioned peacefully at her home in Pittsburgh, PA and is now resting with the ancestors. Queen Mother Bariki, disciple of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, was a revolutionary, teacher, singer, musician and extraordinarily beloved. Mama Bariki is survived by her four children: Dr. John R. Diggs, Jr., Khadija Tamu Diggs, Esq., Malaika E. Hall, and Dalili T. Hall; three granddaughters: Kimaya Diggs (Jacob Rosazza), Makeda Diggs, and Savita Diggs; as well as a host of family, extended family, and friends.
A celebration of the life of Sister Bariki, and acknowledgement of her warrior spirit, will be held on October 5, 2024, at the Sherwood Event Center in Pittsburgh, PA. Parking at the facility is limited and strictly enforced; consider carpooling. The family welcomes the village for visitation from 11:45 am – 12:45 pm; memorial service to follow beginning at 1 pm. African attire (excluding the color white) is requested, but not required.
